Mission:
The English and Language Studies (ELS) department at IU Kokomo educates students in the liberal arts tradition and prepares graduates for a diverse array of careers that prioritize analytical reading, persuasive writing, critical thinking, international languages, and cultural awareness. Our program serves the region by helping students cultivate scholarly and marketable skills that emerge from the close study of languages and diverse literatures in a global context, a growing facility with theoretical approaches, and expertise in reading and research processes. As students become conversant in multiple literary, rhetorical, linguistic, and textual traditions, they participate in a culture of diversity that will help them advance as global citizens and innovative problem-solvers in a complex, changing world.
